Alfred Thompson Bricher (April 10, 1837 – September 30, 1908) was a painter associated with White Mountain art and the Hudson River School. Life and workBricher was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He was educated in an academy at Newburyport, Massachusetts. He began his career as a businessman in Boston, Massachusetts. When not working, he studied at the Lowell Institute. He also studied with Albert Bierstadt, William Morris Hunt, and others. He attained noteworthy skill in making landscape studies from nature, and after 1858 devoted himself to the art as a profession. He opened a studio in Boston, and met with some success there. In 1868 he moved to New York City, and at the National Academy of Design that year he exhibited “Mill-Stream at Newburyport.” Soon afterward he began to use watercolors in preference to oils, and in 1873 was chosen a member of the American Watercolor Society. In the 1870s, he primarily did maritime themed paintings, with attention to watercolor paintings of landscape, marine, and coastwise scenery.[1][2] He often spent summers in Grand Manan, where he produced such notable works as Morning at Grand Manan (1878). In 1879, Bricher was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member.[3] Hudson River SchoolBricher was one of the last painters of the famed Hudson River School. By the end of his life, his style of painting that included landscapes and luminism fell out of style, with Modern Art becoming the premier artistic movement. As his style of art faded, so did his fame.[4] RediscoveryOver time Bricher's artwork gathered more attention and by the 1980s he began to be credited as one of the nineteenth century's greatest maritime painters.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} A self-taught luminist, he explored the effects of light and how it reflected, refracted, and absorbed on landscapes and seascapes. Later lifeAs a lover of maritime life and the sea he purchased a home in the 1890s close to the sea in the New Dorp section of Staten Island where he had views of the Atlantic Ocean and Raritan Bay. He lived and painted at the shore in New Dorp until his death, in Staten Island, New York, aged 71.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://whitemountainart.com/Biographies/bio_atb.htm|title=Alfred Thompson Bricher Biography|work=whitemountainart.com|accessdate=17 January 2015}} 2. ^{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Bricher, Alfred Thompson|year=1900}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalacademy.org/academy/national-academicians/|title=National Academicians|work=National Academy Museum|accessdate=17 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314023614/http://www.nationalacademy.org/academy/national-academicians/|archive-date=14 March 2016|dead-url=yes|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.nypl.org/branch/staten/index2.cfm?Trg=1&d1=1391 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090210133645/http://www.nypl.org/branch/staten/index2.cfm?Trg=1&d1=1391 |archivedate=February 10, 2009| title= Staten Island on the Web: Famous Staten Islanders |publisher=New York Public Library | accessdate=July 15, 2014}} External links
